[QUOTE=gemy;4262702]Yes I would be worried too, if the fracture is very near the growth plate.
Try googling and go to well respected sites, to see options for surgical intervention for this type of fracture. Stem Cell treatment might be an option here.
Why wasn't the fracture picked up on the first set of Xrays?[/QUOTE]
This is exactly WHY most docs (and vets)want to re-ray injuries....they wont often go by what the first doc says is wrong, or take his interpretation of what he sees on xray. The quality of the original xray may not be good, and the doc may not be good at reading the xray. We like to jump and think this next group of vets or docs is just trying to get more money, but that is not the reason for doing their own tests. I am happy for the direction your case has taken, as far as treatment and appointments....The ortho specialist will be able to give you options and alternatives and help deciding what would be best for you and your baby.... |
